Itinerary
This is the first stop on the tour. It is our policy not to tell you about this or any other stop (there's about ten in total) because that takes away the surprise. It's better to think of our time together as a Magical Mystery Tour—the 'mystery' being how such a small corner of London left such a massive mark on the global music scene, and the 'magic' being the songs that were written and performed here. One thing’s for sure: you won’t be disappointed. If anything, this tour just might be the highlight of your visit to London. That’s certainly our aim!

This is the end of the tour. And what an end! But still not going to say what happened here - but it's amazing. Rock 'n' roll! What we can say, though, is that you have just had the most amazing time and made some amazing memories. Yes, your feet might ache a little, but what a walk!

Robin was the best tour guide I've ever had. Fun, friendly and clearly loved the subject. Highly recommend!
If you love music this is such a fantastic tour! From Bowie to The Slits, there is nothing Robin can’t tell you about all the incredible things that happened across SoHo from the 50s onwards. It’s a chance to look at London with a new eye if you know it well, and if you don’t it will show you what an incredible part of the city this is. Following the footsteps of so much history, talent and artistry is a superb way to spend a couple of hours. And plenty of jokes, too!
Fantastic tour, really enjoyed it. Robin is such fun and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour. Lots of interesting facts.
Tour guide was very nice and informative. I really liked the way it was organized and how good the tour guide was.
The best tour we have ever made .... honestly
Really fun tour, really knowledgeable guide. We had lots of fun
I’m a Londoner and know the city well but I learned so much on this tour, not only music related but also a lot of history and fun facts about the area. Friendly, funny and so much knowledge. Excellent walk!!
A very enjoyable and informative walk and talk by an engaging host. If you have a couple of hours to spare and are interested in music legends this is the walk for you.
As a musician with my family, I caan thoroughly recommend this facinating tour. Thanks very much Terry , Lee, and 16 year old Ella.
A wonderful Rock’n Roll experience with joy and humour. Thanks
